Just had to Brag

O.K. so this isn't the type of stuff I usually post on our family blog but I am so proud of myself!!! I bet you all didn't know I was an expert bargain shopper - o.k. you knew I was an expert shopper but by necessity and not wanting to give up my shopping I have become quite the bargain shopper.

Look what I got today.


The original price on this coat was $179.00 Guess how much I paid - just guess!!!

The coat had been marked down numerous times. part of the problem was that it was missing the belt but given how short waisted I am I would have taken the belt off anyway.

O.k. - so the price on the coat today was $4.88 - yes that is 4.88!! But wait, they were having 25% off the entire store so I only paid $3.66!!

Now do you think I could convince Jim that now I can spend the other $175.00 I saved!!!!

NOT!

That is a smoking steal! I need to hit the mall this weekend...the sales are tremendous! I hope you add a picture of you wearing your beautiful new coat!

I wore the coat tonight and it was so fun - knowing I got such a good deal on it. I wanted to tell everyone how much I had paid for it. There are tons of great deals out there!! Got a great pair of dress slacks at Gap for $14.00 - originally $55.00!
Not as good a deal but still good!

I love shopping in Oregon! Some of our best deals came from there. On our first trip there ever I got a red jacket for $4.99. It was so hard to take off that price tag because I knew NO one would believe me. But I did and still enjoy the jacket today. Now, the real question, can you go back and pick up another one, size small? Come on, we live in different states! :) Congratulations!!! And I know you look better in it than the model.

Welcome to the world of bargain shopping! It is just so much more satisfying than paying a regular or just sale price!
